Knee high and over the knee socks are booming back into stock, replacing the traditional tights you may wear with an outfit. This classic school girl look is actually pretty cute and fun to play up. You can pair them with anything– heels, flats or boots. For this time of year, in the midwest, I would pair the socks with penny loafers or tall riding boots. You can buy knee highs/over the knee socks at H&M, TopShop, Target, and mytights.com. Complete the look with a tan or patterned skirt or sleek black shorts, a tank and cardigan. I love this look shown in American Apparel (left). You also have a lot of options with socks–texture wise. Wear thick durable knit socks for cold weather, or thin breathable nylons for a bit warmer weather. Essentially you’ll get the same overall look, but it’s fun to play with texture when appropriate. Also, there are many different designs and colors on socks, mytights.com has a lot of options so check out their website. This photo from H&M has a cool spin on the style–wearing both tights and knee high socks. This model displays thin nylon tights with a pattern, layered under solid black knit knee highs.
